OK, so I finally broke down and ordered a case from Nutshell for my 7130e. www.tuff-as-nuts.com I paid about $60 with shipping. I have ordered from them in the past for a Treo and a Dell Axim and have been extremely happy with the quality of their leather. I'll post pics and a review when I get the case.

I was alerted by another forum that you need to be very careful when ordering from the Tuff-as-nuts website because their link for the specific dimensions of the 7130e is not active and the ordering form does not allow for you to specify what BB 7100 model you are purchasing the case for. (The dimensions DO DIFFER) I got frustrated and begged off. COME ON VAJA already!

I specifically emailed them about that and they assured me that it is a perfect fit for the 7130. I agree - their website is vague and it looks like they are selling a "one size fits all" case for the 7100 series. We will see. They have a money back guarantee. I have been very happy with prior orders, so I will be surprised if this doesnt fit. PS - I was able to indicate in their ordering form (through a comments box) that this was for the 7130. Also - the upcoming Fortte cases look promising.....
